A Bridge Across the Channel

Now that the Channel tunnel scheme
has been knocked on the head. an en-
deavor is to be made-so the French
engineering journals say-to build a
bridge over the Straits of Dover. We
have heard something of the kind be-
fore, but the world is now favored with
a few details of this interesting project
The bridge would start from point on
the French coast between Cape Grisnez
and Ambleteuse, and end at Folke-
stone. 1t would be thirty-five Kill
ometers in length. would cost a milliard
to build, and would be completed in
seven years. 1t would be high enough
for the largest vessels to pass beneath
it, and sin time of war it could easily
be blown up" NJ. Hersent, who had
a good deal to do with the cutting OF
the Suez Canal, is said to be the
sponsor of this wild schcme.-&.

MOST IN LIMBO.

Herr Most, the Agitator, Again Under Ar.
rest For incendiary Language.
NEW York, Nov. 1S.-Johann Most, the
Anarchist, was arrested at noon yesterday
1t the Office of his newspaper, by Detective
Scrgeanis Crowley and Mcclure, of In
spcctor Byrnes' staff. His arrest was
made by direction OF Inspector Byrnes, on
= warrant issued by Justice Cowing, for
having made an incendiary speech caicu-
lated to incite riot last Friday night in a
hall on Seventh street. The warrant
was made returnable before JUS
tice Cowing's court. Most insists that
he did not use the language at
tribu,ed to him by the police. AS thus is
the second time ne has been arrested for
making violent speeches, he will probably
get the full extent of the law, which is one
wears Imprisonment and a fine. The IN
d,ctmeut charges a misdemeanor. In the
document he Is characterized as ian evil
disposed and pernicious person. and OF
most wicked and turbulent disposition,
wickedly and malIciously contriving to dis
turO the public peace, and to excite the
good citizcns of our said State TO hatred
and contempt of the Gov ernment, and make
instructions. etc"

BOMB THROWING.

A Dynamite Bomb Said to E-ve Been
Thrown I'm . Boiler ShOp-Absence of
Motive.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Nov. 16-A bomb was
exploded in the Iowa iron works in this
city late last night. Tho works are run
ming a night force, and of them some twcn-
ty were working on large boiler in the
boiler shop when they were startled by u
sudden explosion some fifteen feet away on
the other side of the boiler. 1t made a
terrible noise and was heard in many parts
Of the city. A bomb was picked up, made
Of inch and u hat gas-ppo about two feet
long. One end was still intact, plugged
up, and a hole in the pipe near it for
fuse. The pine was spit in several
pieces. Fortunately tho explosion was all
in one direction-away from the men. The
flames were speedily extinguishcd by the
men and no other damage was done. 1t Is u
supposed the bomb was thrown III an open
window. The works have had no trouble
with their men, but have been running u
double force for nine months. A theory is
that the bomb was prepared by some one
having grudge against the wOrkmen, or
else by an out and out anarchist. 1t was
filled with either dynamite or guncotton.
1t is now in possession Of the police and the
anarchist is being hunted for.

mission on the part of Great Britain, to en-
deavor TO secure settlement of the vexed
fisheries question, arrived in the city this
afternoon from New York They were i'm

scented TO the President probably to-mor-
row. The day for the beginning Of the
conferences has not been fixed, but it is
thought probable that the British Commits
sioners will not require more than q few
days for consultation, and that the more
formal work of the Commission will begin
some time next week. II is probable that
the sessions will be held with closed doors.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

A Government Agent Reports That $780,
100000 More Is Required to Conn
pletc it.
PANAMA, Nov. 15.-Scnor lance Armero,
agent of the Colombian Government on the
isthmus respecting canal affairs, has re-
Gently completed his report on The canal
Senior Armero commences by saying: Il
have carefully travelled over the whole
line, have formed an opinion respecting the
work, and am now in possession OF correct
data rs to the technical aud practical work
Of the canal. The annual reports presented
by Count de Lesseps to the shareholders
are the only Official and reliable documents
within the reach of the public, but whether
it be from the concise terms in which
these are couched or the fact that they are
intended to inspire the shareholders with
greater confidence in the canal they
are partial in their character
and are not 50 precise Us one would
desire. Neither in my opinion do they fur
nish IN exact idea OF the situation. On the
other hand the writings Of the pessimists
and detractors Of the undertaking are ex-
aggerated in an inverse sense and arc
worthy of no credit whatever" He states
that TO complete the canal the sum Of $J0S,
$4,000 will be required.

RICHMOND ESCAPES.

His Escapc From the Asylum.

The Slayer Of Colonel j. w. Strong Makes
Isis Escape From the Asylum.
ST. JosEpu, Mo-, Nov. 15.-Some time dur
ing last night DR.. s. A. Richmond, the
murderer of Colonel j. w. Strong, OF the
Herald, made his escape from Asylum No =.
The fact was discovered ut an early hour
this morning by one Of the guards who
tried to enter the Doctors room. For some
time past DIR. Richmond has been allowed
the full liberty OF the grounds, possessing u
key to his room and coming and going out at
his pleasure. DR.. Smith, the asylum physi-
cian and DIR. Wallace, his assistant, have
both pronounced him cured. and some
time ago appeared before the asylum board
and advised his release. The board re-
fused the request by unanimous vote, and
the next step taken was for writ OF
habeas corpus before Judge Spencer, of the
circuit court. In their sworn testimony the
asylum physicians stated that under the
existing circumstances DIR. Richmond was
likely TO DO q similar act for which he
was now incarcerated and Judge Spencer
refused tine writ. The brother OF DR.. Rich.
mond was present at the trial and pledged
himself to remove DIR. Richmond to the
mountains of Virginia and never return
again to St. Joseph. The excitement in st.
Joseph over his escape is intense. and
every effort will be made for his recapturc.

whaling steamer Lizzie N, Captain West,

phernalia for whaie-killing. Captain West
was in the stern and his chief mate in the
bow of the boat. The whale, contrary to
the usual custom of such fish, showed no
fear of the boat, but lay on the top Of the
water, apparently inviting attack. As
soon as near enough the captain fired a
bomb lance at the monster. but his aim

failed TO hit a vital part. The whale. an
gercd by the shot, attacked the boat, knock
ing it thirty feet IN the air with his fukes
and cutting the body OF one seaman com
pletely in two. He seemed to grow frantic
with rage, and bit and tossed the frag-
ments of the boat in all directions. Two
other seamen were struck by his flukes and
killed. The captain, mate and one sailor

There is great intensity Of the physical

Causes Of the Excited Grain Markets.
Basiness Generally Active.
New York, Nov. l9.-R g. Dun Il %,
IN their weekly review Of trade. say: More
than q third of all the wheat which will
leave the farms throughout the country
during the entire year was sold IN tins one
city during the past six days. Reported
sales reached l07, $4,000 bushels wheat;
q 257, 900 bushels corn: 253.0O0 barrels oil;
l,OA6, 400 bales cotton and 46S, 900 bags coffee
Wheat advanced lslc, corn 44c, oats nc,
oil 11sc and coffee &c, while cotton de-
clined 1-l6c; hogs, pork and pork products
were excited, hogs rising 40c per lO0 pounds
and lard 2oc; tin jumped 3}4c again and
copper nearly 1c. Appreciated deficiency
Of supplies is tie excuse for the excited adj
vance in some products, but the bottom
fact Is that more currency is IN circulation
than ever before, and treasury deposits
with banks feed the speculative fever,
while removing the fear OF monetary
pressure at the chief centers Of trade.
Business is generally active for the season,
though at some points retarded by SLOW
collections and recent failures. Exchanges
last week fell below those OF the
same week last year, but the great
increase at most Western and South
ern cities continues. At Chicago, the
relief utter the hanging and funeral
of the Anarchists, gave a new I'M
petus. At Omaha collections are satisfac'
tory and trade good. At Milwaukee trade
is slightly duller. At Memphis serious
damage results from the long drought and
prevalent fires, and Nashville finds fires
and failures an embarrassment A BANK
failure affects st. Louis and money con-
lions are dull there, slow at Milwaukee,
only fair at Nashville and Atlanta
The great speculation IN wheat goes on
in spite of a decline of 800, 600 bushels in
October exports, and 3,3OJOOO bushels in
September, but the quantity remaining or
hand November l, after allowance for
full years consumption was 100, 9oo, OK
bushels, whereas the exports for the re
naming months of the last crop year were
100. 765, 94l bushels. Corn is excited be
cause of the bureau reduction of 5000. 90,
bushels in its estimate; at the same time
pork products and cattle rise. TO-day's
markets showed sharp reaction in grain
,, but whether the speculation has culmi
mated no one can say. Cotton has react et

around but made no remark. His face was
OF deatbly pallor but otherwise was per.

asked if he had any thing to say Mosier
replied: "Nothing, only don't like to die

Mosier requested to have his boots re-

and as the black cap was being placed over
his head uttered his last words on earth by
saying: 'sTell Smith how stood it."
At exactly 1884 the trap fell.

minutes after the springing Of the trap and

Imprisoned at a Depth of Eighty Feet.
WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 1S-F. +. Lewis, q
prominent citizen returned yesterday
afternoon from Wichita County. He said
that when about twenty miles southwest
of Scott City he was surprised to see con-
gregated upon knoll upon the prairie
crowd numbering hundreds OF people, and,
as he afterwards discovered, included
every one within a radius Of ten mics.
Hastily approaching, he was informed OF
one of the most startling things that ever
came under his observation. This place
was the situation of we'll which was Ito
feet deep, and was formed of tubing one
foot in diameter. Down this tube,
at q distance Of eighty feet, was
jessie HIckmeyer. the two-year-oid
child of j. r. Hickmeyer, farmer living
near by. The little one had been playing
in the yard, and coming to the well, had
slipped down the tube TO distance of
eighty feet from the surface, and ten feet
above the water level. Shortly after tho
disappearance of the little one the mother
went to the well and heard issuing from it's
depths the cries of her babe. She gave
the alarm, and soon neighbors gathered in
crowds. An effort to eXtricate the child
by means of a hook only brought up torn
shreds of clothing and blood. An cxcava-
fion by the SIDE Of the tube was Immediate

Lewis was at the spot but thirty feet was

great rapidity and was soon beyond the

who made brave attempt to extinguish it.
In fifteen minutes after the alarm
sounded the flames had spread to the cot

The entire fire department Of the depart

cotton, joined this to the north, while
Zente's shed. with 1900 bales, was
directly south. All this cotton, 5i,OO0
bales was in great danger, but fortunately
the wind was blowing favorably and car.
